This building from the 70s, located in the
Beaugrenelle neighborhood, is highly emblematic.
Despite its modest size, it typifies the quality of
French architectural production in the modern
era. It was designed in a spirit of optimism
and openness, with a sense of boldness
and inventiveness. This is more than just
a rehabilitation: two solutions will expand
the building through simple interventions that
won't impact the structure and that will preserve
the qualities of the original interior layouts.
The idea: to cover the central patio with an
inflatable ETFE roof to increase the 1st floor
and push back the lateral façades to expand
the ground floor. All in the spirit of the original
building. The revitalized historic bulding will
be better adapted to the technical, thermal,
and functional needs of tomorrow, and thereby
acquire a new life.
